| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the greatest game with me, Jamie Caragher. With each week I will |
| 0:09.5 | speak to a footballer or a football fan, about 13, they love a football and find out what |
| 0:15.1 | is their greatest game. |
| 0:19.0 | On this episode I am joined by an Arsenal legend who has never lost the love for scoring |
| 0:23.2 | a goal or two. It's Ian Wright. Ian famously came into professional football late but he still |

| 1:36.3 | going to sign for Arsenal. I genuinely couldn't believe it and I just wanted to be in the |
| 1:41.6 | conversation, Jamie, about strikers. Just wanted to be in the conversation. |
| 1:45.6 | It's more no doubt you are in the conversation. But right, everyone knows your story in |
| 1:52.4 | terms of where you came from with maybe a conventional route to professional football. |
| 2:00.7 | Everyone talks now about Jamie Barry and I'm not made of Jamie Barry and rightly so. |
